About this episode

Cassie Yeung discusses her inclusion in the Food Network Hot List and her cooking philosophy of 'no measurements, just vibes'.

Cassie Yeung joins the pod to share her excitement on being named to the 2026 Food Network Hot List. She talks about the viral “hangover ramen” video that changed her life, growing up in a food-obsessed household, and why she believes cooking should always be guided by “no measurements, just vibes.”  Later, Cassie dives into her New York Times bestselling cookbook Bad Bitch in the Kitch , explains why she fought to keep the title, and breaks down the philosophy behind making approachable, craveable Asian-inspired recipes for a social-first audience. Plus: emotional support pickles, dumpling hacks, and Cassie’s perfect food day around the world.  Follow Food Network on Instagram: HERE   Follow Jaymee Sire on Instagram: HERE   Follow Cassie on Instagram: HERE   Learn More about Food Network’s Hot List: HERE   Hosted on Acast.
